Traumatized?

'Distraught and traumatized as a consequence of the findings at the May 4 hearing...... and her fear of incarceration."
Dr. Charles Sophy, psychiatrist

It seems that Paris Hilton is so emotionally traumatized and distraught that she isn't capable of testifying in a $10 million civil lawsuit that had been filed against her by Zeta Graff. In 2005, Graff filed a lawsuit claiming that Hilton was the source of "vicious lies" being spread about the diamond heiress and actress allegedly attempting to steal a valuable necklace from Hilton's neck.
Ms. Hilton's psychiatrist testified as to how traumatized she has been recently and Superior Court Judge Linda Lefkowitz has now postponed the trial schedualed to begin this month until August of this year. While I am sure that there were many factors taken into consideration for this decision, how upset Hilton is at the moment I think should have very little bearing.
Hilton was convicted recently and sentenced to 45 days in county jail for violating her parole and must go to jail by June 5th. This is hardly a case of using Hilton as an example, she violated her parole stemming from a Sept 7 arrest for reckless driving while intoxicated. She was then sentenced to 36 months of probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines. Since that sentence, she has been twice been arrested for driving with a suspended license and it has been found that she hadn't as of the recent hearing, enrolled in an alcohol education program before the Feb 12 deadline.
Hilton is facing "real" jail time but she has been guilty of failing to follow the rather simple terms of her probation. If she thinks that her looming jail time is traumatizing, maybe she should have a chat with a few men who should be "traumatized" by their incarcerations.
Advances in DNA testing has now freed numerous "criminals" , the men Hilton should probably talk with. Byron Halsey was recently released from jail in NJ on $55,000 bail after spending twenty years in jail following his conviction of murdering and sexually assaulting the two young children of his live-in girlfriend. The DNA evidence points to another man, Clifton Hall, who lived in the same rooming house and is now in prison for three sex crimes.
James Tillman spent 18 years incorrectly convicted of kidnapping and raping a woman in CT and has also been released after DNA evidence has shown that he was not the perpetrator of the crime. Alan Crotzer has been released in FL after being sentenced to 130 years for being part of an armed robbery and rapes. Again, DNA evidence has left no doubt that he also is innocent of the crimes.
I can understand that jail will be such a drastic change for Hilton that she is now distraught but she has been found guilty of driving when she could very well afford someone to drive for her. She had ignored the fact that she should have been enrolled in the alcohol education program and I find it very difficult to feel sorry for her. As for the postponed case, she has known that court date would be coming for a couple of years.
Maybe this will be a wakeup call for improving her future behavior but her 45 day sentence pales in the face of what these innocent men faced for years.
